Legendary Encounters: The Matrix | Playthrough | With Colin

[@Tr1n1tyNZ]

OMG, OMG, I'm soooo excited for this! The Matrix is my all time favourite movie. Missed you Colin, great to see another of your playthroughs :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It's one of my favorites too! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@robertbouley7697]

This was an excellent play-through! I’m glad you continue to review systems that have been around for a bit. I would happily watch more Legendary/Arkham/Marvel etc. Take care!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks, will do!

[@PaulDarcy]

I'm pretty sure Agent Brown does not give Neo a strike . . . 19:22 Strikes happen in phase 3 before cleanup phase 4 and Neo only moves back to the Matrix after his turn ends. So I think, unless I'm mistaken, Agent Brown during the Strike phase does not find Neo because he is in the real world during the Strike phase? Great playthrough as always, Colin! Love this game!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Paul!!! So great to hear from you! You know that's a great point it just felt thematic that he couldn't escape the matrix, but from a game perspective I totally agree. I'll make a note!

[@rpolacek7]

Very excited for this game. Love all Legendary Encounters games. When I heard about The Matrix as the next installment, I was over the moon. Great playthrough!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It's so good!!!

[@Lordofthering2102sj]

That “ no like this “ of Switch just killed me, this scène litteraly trumatised me when y was younger. This game is awesome

[@bookaddict777]

Thanks for the playthrough, Colin! I love seeing all of the Legendary implementations!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chadikewood2342]

Colin, love your play throughs! would love to see the next two of this one.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks, will do!

[@RomanQrr]

At around 1:01:58 you had Neo play 2 "Your Men are already Dead" red Trinity cards, meaning you would've drawn 2 additional cards, not 1. Also I believe that acts and parts resolve first before you are forced to end your turn, so both act 2 rewards would've been put on top of the deck before you draw your hand of cards, though I might be mistaken.

[@marcotuliodeavellar4298]

Nice playthrough. Your pace and the way you approach the game is one of the best out there. I have LE Aliens + expansion. Not sure if I need this one in my collection. It looks very easy and with not much replayability. What are you thoughts on these aspects? Cheers

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Good question! So I lost this scenario 1 time and won the other 3 times. I hear the other 2 scenarios are harder but I haven't tried it. I think if you love the theme it's a no brainer, but otherwise I'm not sure it's worth the money with only 3 scenarios in the box. Hope that helps!

[@marcotuliodeavellar4298]

@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks for your inputs, Colin. I do love the movies and the IP, but I am still on the fence. *I love the first movie and I enjoy 2 and 3. The last one is an aberration. Cheers

[@denis480]

I hope they'll release a Matrix Resurrections expansion.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That would be cool!

[@ЛевМатюшенко-ц5ь]

1:16:08 are you sure agents move two spaces? There is nothing in the Matrix row pushing them so they move by themselves with their Chase ability.

[@yogibbear]

I have played through basically everything for Legendary Alien and thought I was done with the legendary stuff and didn't need anything else, but this looks awesome!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It's so good!! I think it's the best encounter box to date!

[@1AngelAlita]

@@OneStopCoopShopReally? I love X-Files because it's difficult enough even for 2 players and it has an awesome hidden buying card row mechanic...

[@batmansmk]

Loved your video Colin!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much!

[@thefindus89]

Was just going to your channel to comment on your last video that it was long time since I saw you. And then i find this 😮! Wc back 🎉

[@OneStopCoopShop]

YES Finally back from a month or so of a vacation, kids getting sick , etc. ALL THE GAMBIT! :) Thanks for commenting!

[@Brend0ver]

I own Marvel Legendary and a lot of expansions. I don't own any of the encounters sets (curse you Firefly art!). Watching this playthrough makes me really want to get this one. The Matrix is one of my favorite movies and the gameplay has some interesting changes compared to the Marvel Legendary.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Dude I love the matrix that's why I picked this one up! Hope you give it a go!

[@mattias_lindblom]

Just did my first play through of this, but I didn’t understand that Neo could actually get to the real world in the beginning of the game to recruit, so I kept him in the matrix until the start of act 2. Maybe that’s why I lost a bit earlier than I usually do in the other LE games…

[@corrado8955]

Nice one, Colin. Love The Matrix! Still remember going to see it in the theater and being blown away. Game mechanics seems really fun. I feel the art for this one is kind of Firefly tier though. Another game I enjoy in spite of the art. Really wish they would spend a but more on the art for these to get higher quality stuff. A few cards look good, but a lot of them just pull me out of the theme.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for watching and yes the at could be better for sure!

[@Lordofthering2102sj]

Hi Colin! There is a possibility to do mix and match with thé scénario for more reaplaibily like in aliens, or not ?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

You can mix any of the parts together they say!

[@yvesgauthier1609]

Chase just moove the agent one time, not two. The card moove two spot total if the card was push by another card before chase abiliy trigger

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Better way to explain it!!

[@davidko9289]

I haven't seen/played all the Legendary games, but this one seems to have more set aside cards and acts than the ones I'm familiar with. Reminds me of the acts and agendas from Arkham LCG.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh yeah I agree. It gives more unknowns due to it too! Which I like. Also really enjoy how thematic it is!

[@renegadez24]

Love this! Will you do the X-files

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I did a review of the X-Files set several years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDZY5qJgMySoMUsi=koRM1j9v_o7ozEpi Colin isn't with the channel anymore, and I don't own that set anymore, so I don't think a playthrough is likely. Sorry! - Mike

[@warpaint9385]

Wow didn’t even know about this. I have Alien, Predator and The X Files. Great game, love the art in these games. Only disappointing thing for me was still shots used in The X Files version not art.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I didn't know they did that for x files. Trying to decide if it's worth getting that one if it's not a theme I know much of. Thanks for watching!!

[@SeerMagicX]

@@OneStopCoopShop They did that because Firefly is the ugliest game art of all time.

[@1AngelAlita]

@@SeerMagicX Exactly. Firefly is very ugly.

[@daem0nfaust]

Ohay I've been looking forward to seeing how this game goes.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hope you enjoy it!!

[@daem0nfaust]

​@@OneStopCoopShopto be perfectly honest, I was so worried about this game because I've always wanted The Matrix card game and this is the first and only one there is. But the legendary rules seem to apply just elegantly enough that the theme wraps into it without making it complicated. I can definitely play this with non-heavy gamers who just wants to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

[@daem0nfaust]

That, and your explanation is very clear. Thank you. Is Apoc a playable character?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I do not! I love fully coop games and if it were up to me, that is all I'd ever play. @@OneStopCoopShop

[@gamerchrisnorwood]

That's where the branding difference comes in. "Legendary" games are semi-coop, while "Legendary Encounters" are fully coop.

[@ChimeratAlpha]

16:26 Doesn't it coordinate 3 Attack, but cost 6?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yup!

[@ChimeratAlpha]

@@OneStopCoopShop Okay, cool. It had been a while since I played Legendary Firefly or Marvel, so I wondered if I'd forgotten how that worked. XD Not like to get this version. I have way too many expansions in Marvel now to ever need to buy another Legendary anything.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Sorry for the confusion yeah that's the cost. It coordinates with 3 attack!

[@saracampbell2196]

Colin!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

[@Boardgamegyrl]

But aren’t they all basically the same game , But with a different theme?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Each adds its own mechanical changes, but sure, the core system remains mostly the same

[@Muhd_Akmal]

I already got aliens and x-files but this is so tempting

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Is x files worth it? I've never seen the show but I love this system. Let me know!!

[@Muhd_Akmal]

Its definitely worth it if you watched the x-files show because the game is very thematic. Coolest part of the game is that every card enters face down (yes even the cards that you want to recruit) because there might be enemies in there!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

OK I really like that!!

[@Boardgamegyrl]

Same with Alien Encounters

[@SeanUCF]

So glad they used artwork over screen caps. I hate screen caps and refuse to buy any game that uses them.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Totally!!

[@WolverineJay16]

Since you bought the 8 cost card you shouldn't have then put the Neo hero cards in the deck. Complete that card on a future turn or put the 8 cost card back then shuffle hero cards into deck not both (isn't that cheating the game technically? )

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I am not sure honestly! It says you may so too me you get to decide!

[@michaelhill6453]

Great game, I want it. However, for such a dark movie, the cartoony artwork is totally out of place. Very odd.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

The entire legendary encounters series has “questionable” art at best 😅

[@1AngelAlita]

Hmmm, I think after X-Files I wouldn't buy any LE game with the buying card row revealed. I really the reveal mechanic in LE X-Files....
